The concept of Backpackers arises from a history explaining them as travelers belonging to different ethnicity, regions and backgrounds. Backpackers usually travel in regions other than their homeland for variety of purposes such as pursuing education, joining any employer, spending holidays etc. Thus the students living and studying abroad, residing in hostels can also be termed as backpackers. Similarly, if a passionate photographer wonders from region to region, country to country to capture some amazing clicks, he can also be labeled as backpacker.
The UK has been a place holding a large number of backpackers, who usually have budget deficit regarding their expenses. They want affordable accommodation and meals. To meet the needs of backpackers, the UK has a range of restaurants that are especially designed for backpackers.

That’s a good list. Thanks! I plan to go backpacking to UK in the coming summer. I’ll definitely visit some of these restaurants.
I went to the UK like a year ago, and I didn´t know about these places, unfortunately because I love egg benedicts for breakfast. Next time I go I´ll know abut better restaurants, not that the ones I went were bad, but these sound great and perfect if you are backpacking.
Good topic… Most backpackers are on a tight budget so knowing affordable places ahead of time can save a lot of searching and cash!
